Item description
A photograph of a mixed media collage made from magazine scraps with a sparkly pink background. A light skinned person with shoulder-length blonde hair is wearing a blue jacket with cutouts of luscious green and brown tree branches on top. Their neck has a pink cutout to the left and a butterfly wing cutout towards the bottom. Their eyes are cut out and replaced with green scraps and the shadows of their face are replaced by different colored paper scraps. There is a large scrap of metallic orange and yellow paper covering the bottom half of their face like a mask.

Covid Collage Project 2

These works are from a series that are very similar so I will explain them in general. These are collages that express my feelings towards the pandemic using magazines, glitter paper, and leftover wrapping paper and gift bags. I also employed some art tape and florescent craft papers in the process. The creative process involved me playing and experimenting. I would finish a collage and put it on the wall and then step back and see what I liked and what was working aesthetically and then I would push those approaches in the ensuing collages. This allowed the work to develop "in process" on my office wall. Through this approach a 'style' and 'visual vocabulary' began to emerge. At the time, my goal was to do one a day while we were in quarantine but as the months wore on I felt that the project was eventually finished to completion. I made close to 200 and currently once in a while I will get in the mood to work on more and go into my office and make a new batch.
